About Govan Ghost Story
Old memories are awakened in a terrifying and dangerous way when Jock McGinn counters a strange little girl in the flats where he lives. A crucial stepping-stone in the career of distinguished actor and director David Hayman. It was also a seminal work of writer Bryan Elsley who would go on to create the award-winning Skins series.
Directed by David Hayman, Govan Ghost Story leans on a strong ensemble — Tom Watson, Fletcher Mathers, Julia Wallace — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about horror titles of 1989.
